So download the source to whatever you want to port an try to build it in scratchbox. Many source packages have instructions how to do this. Some work with ./configure and make is common.

The "port" idea, in a very simplistic way, is about to compile it in armel arch, and link it to the n900 libraries (nxx0 by the way)
If you know how to compile, you dont know more how-to than that
if not, you need to learn a bit more before trying to port something

You may want to take a look at this thread, http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=40834 , shuairan and a few others ported stellarium (a wildly cool linux planetarium application) to the n900.
Correction: it's a Qt Application.

I've been googling for a few weeks now, I'm looking for a website or something with a tutorial for how to port (simple) software to Maemo/N900.
I have scratchbox installed to a Mint Linux VM, but have no knowledge of how it works.
Does anyone have a guide/tut/website on how to port software?
I've heard it's not hard just to do a simple port, but I can't find anything on how.
I fully understand that you need source code. I know how to gain source (download or SVN).
Could someone please help?
I have no concern about downloading a bunch of stuff.
My system:
MacBook Core2 (2ghz/4GB Ram)
OSX 10.6
(VM) Windows XP
(VM) Windows 7
(VM) Linux: -
Mint
Fedora
DSL (n)
Debian
Easy Debian (On Device)
I'm listing the above OS's just incase one distro/system is easier to port on than the other.
OSX is the main and I have more knowledge of that than others.
Thank you all so much!
